We traveled to Green Bay this weekend for the first round of Midwest Rugby Playoffs. It was an amazing game, Green Bay took an early lead 31-6 at the half. They are a very strong team. In usual Pig spirit, we brought it back getting the score to 31-25. The last ten minutes of the... Continue Reading →
